We have commissioned Dianne Auld to design, develop and deliver two classroom courses focused and tailored so that we cover all of the essential Excel skills that are relevant to the needs of UK reward professionals – offering you the opportunity to enhance your learning as you progress from our Excel Intermediate level to Excel Advanced level.
Your tutor . . .A world-leading 'Excel for reward' expert.Dianne Auld is without doubt the most highly regarded and popular Excel for reward expert in the world. Based in South Africa, she travels worldwide demonstrating to reward professionals how to save hours and hours – some even say days – by harnessing all the power of Excel. Two superb Excel courses tailor made for reward professionalsDianne has worked with E-reward and WorldatWork to carefully devise a study programme to assist reward professionals with their day-to-day tasks in Excel. These Excel for reward classroom courses – Intermediate and Advanced – include sleek visual and audio demonstrations of tasks reward professionals need to perform in their job function. During these demonstrations, students follow the instructions being highlighted by Dianne, and immediately afterwards undertake a parallel exercise on their own, with teacher guidance, to cement the learning. You will enhance your ability to analyse mountains of data in seconds with professional looking charts and Pivot Tables. Unlike other Excel courses, our classes have been specially developed to help you master skills specific to compensation and benefits work not taught in any other general Excel course. These courses are UNIQUE. Dianne will be visiting London once a year to lead these classroom courses. Her courses always sell out. Enrol now on our educational courses so that you can be confident about enhancing your Excel skills in the workplace. You’ll have the powerful Dianne Auld training name on your CV, as a quality mark of achievement in Excel for Reward. You can also be confident that you will possess the enhanced Excel skills for reward being sought by today’s employers. |
Reward professionals enrolling in this two-day course should already have strong Excel skills. It is designed for students who would like to learn advanced Excel techniques, and how to apply these to create powerful interactive Excel dashboards for viewing and analysing reward data. Excel dashboards have enormous application in HR and compensation work. Dashboards enable the consolidation of huge amounts of remuneration data into an executive summary view. They use interactive fields to allow different views of the data and modelling of data. Dashboards can replace bulky and cumbersome reports, show management only what they want to see and allow powerful ‘what-if’ analyses for incentive modelling.
On the first day you'll learn advanced Excel functions, including complex Lookup and If formulas, data validation and protection, array formulas and macros to do pay and benefits calculations and pay and commissions calculations. The next day, you'll learn about data validation and protection as well as macros and put what you learned into action as you create an Excel dashboard that will illustrate how pay structures compare competitively to the market.
An intermediate knowledge of Excel is required before attending the workshop.
Dianne says:
‘Students enrolling in this course should already have a thorough understanding of Excel but want to study more about the advanced facilities offered in this area. I have created this two-day course to look further into Excel and help you master the more highly advanced Excel skills specific to reward work. You will learn how to use these to create powerful interactive Excel dashboards for viewing and analysing remuneration data.’
Delegates will receive a comprehensive workbook to use as you progress through the course, including 150 pages of detailed Excel instructions, with screen shots, for all Excel functions taught in the course. A file is also provided to each delegate, complete with all the exercises and dashboards undertaken during class. These files will be emailed to you in advance of the course.
This course requires you bring a Windows PC laptop (not Mac) with Microsoft Excel 2010, ideally Excel 2013 or later (plus a charger). We recommend that you bring a mouse to the course to help with extensive on-screen navigation.
